 *The State Library of Ohio is pleased to be working again with the Ohio
Preservation Council (OPC) on a Special Collections Conservation Care
class.  This professional development opportunity will take place virtually
through pre-recorded talks that attendees will move through self-directed,
between the dates of June 2nd and June 23rd.  The class is modeled after
the previous in-person half-day class

*By completing the modules, attendees will gain** an understanding of the
criteria for selecting materials for conservation/preservation, basic
evaluation considerations, how to find and work with a conservator,
contracts, and insurance and treatment documentation.  Participants are
encouraged to reach out to speakers with questions, inquiries about the
grant, and for informal discussions about selecting objects for treatment.*



*Those attending the class will be eligible to apply for *an* LSTA grant of
up to $4,999 to conserve one or more items from their collection.
Attendance is limited to 20 institutions, however, there is no limit as to
the number of participants within each institution. Applicants must
complete the online class prior to submission; only those institutions that
have completed the online class will be eligible for the LSTA Ohio
Conservation Grant. *



*Registration will open the first week of May 2021 on the State Library’s
training calendar.  Additional information and the grant RFP will also be
available at that time. *
